WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Karma creates memories and desires, which then determine how you live. Actions, memories, and desires are the Karmic software that run your life. The subtle energy created by your actions is stored within your memories and desires and is activated-sometimes immediately, but more often at some future time.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three different types of karma: prarabdha, sanchita, and kriyamana or agami. Prarabdha karma is experienced through the present body and is only a part of sanchita karma which is the sum of one’s past karmas, whereas agami karma is the result of current decisions and actions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Karma affects our lives by making us accountable for any action or reaction, in addition to our intention while taking that action. It is said to be guiding energy which is the end product of deliberate action and intention. Our lives will be affected by the energy we give off right now and in the future.

Detailed explanation-4: -Karma also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect which states that an action is always accompanied by its consequences. Result of a deed is inherent in the deed itself. No one can escape the effects of his actions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Through karma, selfless actions uplift a soul, while selfish actions degrade it. The results of both selfless and selfish actions are experienced over a series of lives, as a soul comes to understand how its actions affect those and the world around it. Karma is thus the ultimate teacher of empathy.

Detailed explanation-6: -Karma is attached to the idea of reincarnation. There is an ongoing cycle of birth and death, conditioned by karma, linking an individual to past and future existences (Kolenda 1964; Wadia 1965). In reincarnation, the spirit or soul survives death and is reborn into a new body, human or nonhuman.
